Swedish metal outfit In Flames has canceled last night's (Saturday, November 14) concert in Nancy, France in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Friday night (November 13).
Explains the band: "In the light of the absolutely horrific events in Paris last night, we have decided to cancel tonights show in Nancy. We will spend the day thinking of our friends, colleagues, fans and families that were affected."
Meanwhile French newspaper Le Monde has posted a graphic video, shot by reporter Daniel Psenny, showing the carnage that took place outside the Eagles Of Death Metal concert. The
video footage shows dozens of people fleeing the Bataclan concert hall under gunfire from terrorist attackers.
Daniel Psenny recorded the video from his apartment window and was later shot in the arm as he attempted to help people shelter in his apartment, and is being treated at the Georges-Pompidou hospital. He said the bullet was fired from a window.
Psenny told Le Monde he was watching TV and heard what he thought was firecrackers. "But the noise was loud, so I went to the window," he said, "I live on the second floor, and my apartment overlooks the emergency exits Bataclan.
"Everyone was running from all sides, I saw guys on the floor, blood... I understood that there was something serious. I asked what was happening. Everyone rushed back to the Rue Amelot and Boulevard Voltaire. A woman was clinging to the Bataclan window on the second floor. I thought of the images of 9/11."
Psenny stopped filming and went down to the street to aid the injured: "I opened the door of the building. There was a man lying on the sidewalk with another man we tried to drag him to safety in the lobby. At that moment, I was hit by a bullet. I do not know what happene], my mind is a blank. But I remember it felt like a firecracker exploding in my left arm, and I saw that it was spurting blood. I think the shooter was at the Bataclan window. The man we saved was shot in the leg. He was an American. He vomited, he was cold, we thought that he would die. We called the emergency services, but they could not evacuate us. I called a doctor friend who told me how to make me a tourniquet with my shirt. And we stayed there until the assault was over."
